parkrun article
editWhy did you remove the section I wrote entitled "Stoke Gifford Parish council voted to become the first in the world to charge Parkrun a fee for the use of its grounds". Surely you should give a reason for doing so.
Epzcaw (talk) 19:35, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- I didn't remove the content. If you look at what I did, you'll see I moved it to elsewhere in the article. Actually some of it has suddenly been deleted, but that wasn't me. Anywikiuser (talk) 15:33, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
SWT stations
editHi just spotted your work at removing the excess service info that user 86.133.248.36 put all over the stations that SWT operate at, and just wanted to say very good work, its such a pain when someone goes and makes pointless changes like that user did! Jrhilton (talk) 23:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks alot! When I first contacted him on User talk:86.133.248.36, he responded by reverting his edits. When he did it again the second time (partly with a similar IP but with the same edits), I did the same thing and he didn't respond so I reverted it myself.

20 stations in Cardiff
editHi, the IP who removed the 20 stations in cardiff from Cardiff Central page has also done it on Transport in Cardiff. Would you be kind enough to revert it, as I would violate the 3RR if I did it. Thanks Welshleprechaun (talk) 19:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- I do wonder whether this is bending rules a bit, but this isn't peacockery, this is true information so yes, I have added it. I tried to rephrase it rather than reverting it. Anywikiuser (talk) 15:02, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
editHi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

After several years of discussion the consensus was to split the Reading to Plymouth Line article into three articles - Bristol to Exeter line, Reading to Taunton line, and Exeter to Plymouth line. The split has now been done, though fairly crudely as I am not an expert on the subject. It will need an expert eye to look at it and smooth out the edges.

County towns
editIn an edit summary for Abingdon-on-Thames, you wrote "It should be obvious that a county town would have been within its county." Maybe obvious, but not necessarily true. In the 1980s, there was a county-level entity in south Wales which did not include its own seat of local government. Maproom (talk) 11:07, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- I admit I wasn't quite sure how to word it. I could have put "Historically the county town of Berkshire and within its boundaries..." or "Historically in Berkshire and the county town of Berkshire". but those just seemed unwieldy. How about "Historically in Berkshire and its county town until 1867..." perhaps? Anywikiuser (talk) 11:16, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

editYour recent editing history at Placebo shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

- If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
- @Girth Summit: I have an issue though with seeing users oppose my edit because there is "no consensus for change" when my attempts to discuss this on the Talk Page have only received one response, hardly a consensus. I support the idea of WP:BRD. What do you do if the 'D' part is hard to come by? And that's a shame, because I'm pretty sure that there are a large number of users watching the placebo page, who want it to informative and truthful.
- I've been trying to add a study that suggests that placebos can reduce feelings of nausea. It's from a reliable source, the findings are represented well, it's relevant to the article, agrees with the 2010 Cochrane study...so why try to block it? My conclusion is that I think I'm being mistaken for someone who's promoting pseudoscience. It's frustrating.
- But I don't see how revealing that the placebo effect can reduce nausea is benefiting alternative medicine. It doesn't detract from the myriad of reasons against using it. On the other hand, many of us will meet people who have taken alternative medicine and have been deceived into thinking it has worked on them. People will be less at risk of being drawn towards alternative medicine if they understand how this deception works. 78.33.33.241 (talk) 13:55, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
- Our policy on consensus discusses this. The issue has only been on the talk page for a couple of days - there's no deadline for Wikipedia to be finished, give it a bit longer to see if anyone responds. If they do not, your next step is to go down the dispute resolution route. Giving up on discussion after two days and just reinserting your content is not the right way to approach this, and will probably lead to your IP address being blocked. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 14:18, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
- Right, I'll wait until at least a week has passed. The only issue is that discussions on that page seem to get quickly archived, judging by the talk page history. 78.33.33.241 (talk) 14:25, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Grenfell Tower fire
editHi. I undid your change to Grenfell Tower fire because it broke a shedload of named references. If you scroll down to the reference section on this version, you'll see what I mean. If it had been one or two, I'd have mended them, but when it's something like this, better to go back and start again lest something else get broken.

Alternatives
editThanks very much for your message. It certainly does seem that rather a lot of quite different things can be meant now by the term 'alternative medicine' & it may be a mistake to have them all in the same article, we all seem to be continually talking at cross purposes. 'Experimental' isn't a word that science has exclusive rights over, I have a basic idea of how science & medical science progresses but we all experiment in small informal ways every day don't we? This is one reason why I've remained on the sidelines, trying to get some clarity over concepts - but then i am criticised because people say if i'm not editing the article then 'what am i doing there?' When people are working on a scientific paper then perhaps 'experimental' can have a specific meaning in a conversation amongst peers but if people search wikipedia looking for info on a subject like this they're not all going to be scientists. Here's a story that's been in the news a lot https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=epilepsy+cannabis but how did people discover that cannabis could be used to control epilepsy? Controlled trials are needed now to work out how to do this safely but discoveries like this don't happen by waiting for mainstream cultural attitudes & mainstream laws & mainstream science funding, science gets interested in the wake of informal experimentation. Who in the 1970ies had ever heard of the endocannabinoid system? Would it have been thought then there were "plausible mechanisms" enabling the developments we're now seeing? Another point is that it isn't the first time that I've come across the phenomenon of the interests of ordinary innocent people getting caught up in specious arguments used in fights over departmental funding...

Talk:Hydroxychloroquine
editI should have left your revert alone. Turns out that editor actually isn't new, and is a serial unsigned cranky opinion poster, often in the middle of other editors' years-old posts, and seldom in date order. You probably already knew this. Ah well. Capewearer (talk) 11:11, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for picking up where I left off. In reply to your comment, the gallery format for pics of the Greater London crematoria was a good idea of mine but what wasn't good was the way my attempt turned out (not showing the pictures), hence my undoing it hoping that someone more experienced in this way of formatting may be encouraged to attempt it.Cloptonson (talk) 15:46, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Placebo article
editI see that you did some work on the Placebo article, there's a long standing mis-reference dating to:
Revision as of 11:15, 22 August 2019 (edit) (undo) Anywikiuser (talk | contribs) (Restructured lede, moving effects and non-effects to a higher paragraph; various other tweaks.)
which puts reference (4) as supporting the text "In general, placebos can affect how patients perceive their condition and encourage the body's chemical processes for relieving pain" - the given reference doesn't in fact support that. I'm unclear how to unpick this particular problem, so just alerting you as a possibly (still) interested editor.

Historiography of the Christianization of the Roman Empire
editWhy did you request to move this article name without discussion? Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:50, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Laurel Lodged As a friend, please allow me to jump in. I think He believed that explaining to me the need for a parent article on the historical process was sufficient. It wasn't for me and you because we have been through all the trauma of previous ups and downs with this article that he knows nothing about. But don't be upset about this one. This editor is acting in good faith, with good sense, and some truly excellent skills of organization. Let's let him work - and stay out of his way as much as humanly possible - (that's for me!) - and he has agreed to leave the title until content settles and we see where we are. It's possible he may be right! He knows, now, that there are plenty of others out in wikiworld that care about this article, so I genuinely do not think there will be a problem working this out - eventually. We will achieve consensus on the title. It will just be a while.
Anywikiuser. In keeping with cooperation - though not avoiding interference yet - I added a division: "Consequences of conversion that might have prevented spread". Please do feel free to change that title!! It's awkward, but I was so impressed by your addition of "grass roots" that I thought this would be a good addition to the discussion as well. If you don't like it, I have no problem with you just removing it.
I will now go back to working on the article I was focused on before you came to Christianization's rescue. I am going to try and discipline myself to stay there and limit my interaction - which might be termed interference - on H of C of RE. I promise that Laurel and I are not averse to change - it's just that we have seen some bad behavior where this article is concerned. That has nothing to do with you though, and I want you to continue to do what you think is best. Laurel, you must also feel free to participate in this article's regeneration. We should keep watching, and I thank you for doing that, but let's do so in an encouraging way because this editor has good intentions and skills that totally rock!! I am hoping he will be a new friend by the end of this - if only he cleans up the red in the reference list... Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:58, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- The absolutely amazingly tremendous Wham2001 has come along behind us both and cleaned up our references. In doing so, it looks as if these refs have been taken from multiple other WP articles. That's okay, so long as these are not unattributed quotes from the content as well. When content is copied from other WP articles it must be attributed. Otherwise this whole article is subject to being blanked for copyright problems. Please fix immediately if needed!! Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:41, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
Thank you
editThank you again for all your efforts on Christianization of RE. Would you be willing to look at more articles I think need your help? Jenhawk777 (talk) 17:00, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- Maybe this one? Christianization of the Roman Empire as diffusion of innovation It's been redone 3 times and I'm still not happy with it. Jenhawk777 (talk) 17:57, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Edit warring
editYour recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
- You're at 3 revisions already, so well into blockable territory. Cut it out before someone notices and drags you to the relevant noticeboard. --Licks-rocks (talk) 10:39, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- Would you like me to post a similar notice on your talk page? You reverted my edits as often as I reverted yours. Anywikiuser (talk) 18:24, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
